With the deepest of respect, we, the first graduating class of Servite High, proudly dedicate this, the first issue of the Servite , to our founder, the Rev. Joseph M. Vosburgh, O. S. M .... In this way, we wish to express our gratitude to the one who taught us to love, honor, and respect the name of Servite High . . . We realize that we, and those to follow us, will never be able to repay his many kindnesses, or the hours of toil, or the heartaches suffered in performing the tasks accomplished in our behalf . . . In sincere reverence for all that he is, and means to us, we pray . . . May the blessings and graces of Him who endowed you with such noble foresight, remain with you throughout your years, and, to the day when you will hear Him say, We11 done, My good and faithful servant. 4

Rev. Philip M. Brennan, O.S.M. Spiritual Director As spiritual director of the high school, Father Brennan was known for his ready smile and sincere interest in the students. His previous stay at St. Philip's High in Chicago gave him opportunity to learn the wiles, ways, and wit of youth. He could always be counted upon for advice in any matter. Father Brennan was ordained to the priesthood in 1941. Before his present assignment, he served as Vocational Director for the Servites. Rev. Hyacinth M. Breski, O.S.M. Pastor Father Breski, our present pastor, came to St. .Tohn Berchmans parish in 1951. Although his many administrative duties in directing the activities of one of the largest parishes in Detroit keep him from participating in school affairs, Father is greatly appreciated for his kind attitude in the supervision of the high school. Father Breski was ordained in the Eternal City in September, 1917. Before coming to Detroit, he was pastor at Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
